This changes the implementation of the `next` function which
is now used to implement each. This let's us iterate over
more types, not just tables and structs.
Because we use an amalgated build, feature
test macros should be set in a single file that
is included before any other headers, and is placed
at the top of the amalgamated build.
This unifies equality and comparison checking. Before, we had
separate functions and vm opcodes for comparing general values vs.
for comparing numbers, where the numberic functions were polymorphic and
had special cases for handling NaNs. By unfiying them, abstract types
can now better integrate with other number types and behave as keys.
For now, the old functions are aliased but will eventually be removed.
This makes the names of the opcodes match their implied functionality.
We also rename the C functions to match the opcodes and source level
functionality.
The new RNG wraps up state for random number generation, so
one can have many rngs and even marshal and unmarshal them.
Adds math/rng, math/rng-uniform, and math/rng-int.
Also introduce `in` and change semantics for
indexing out of range. This commit enforces stricter
invariants on keys when indexing via a function call
on the data structure, or the new `in` function.
The `get` function is now more lax about keys, and will
not throw an error when a bad key is used for a data structure, instead
returning the default value.
This should help catch a number of errors, but it
is a very shallow implementation of type checking. It will
catch some common misuses of functions at compile time
rather than runtime.
This allows better stacktraces when manually intercepting
signals to clean up resources. Also allows functionality
from Common Lisp's unwind-protect, such as calling cleanup code
while unwindinding the stack, restarting on certain signals, and
just in general having more control over signal and signal propagation.
Also fix a bug encountered while implementing with-resource in the
compiler. Desturcturing arguments that were not the last argument
would often result in bad code generation, as slots used to destructure
the earlier arguments would invalidate the later parameters. This is
fixed by allocating all named parameters before doing any destructuring.
The break special form can break out of both loops
and functions with an early (nil) return. Mainly useful
for generated code in macros, and should probably be discouraged
in user written code.
A consistent style should help with contributors and
readability. We use astyle as the formatter as can make a pretty
good approximation of the current style and my preferred style.
